But, I was watching a live stream from ESPN. One bingo caller said something like "well when the faced is closed like that you will always hit a draw". Then, miraculously, his partner said "only if the face is closed relative to the path". Other guy didn't get it so he lined it out for him in more detail and went on to explain how a fade is hit.
Have heart folks. Knowledge is somehow leaking into the world of "expert" commentary.

I love the 4 different channel/programming options that DirectTV offers for events like this. They've been offering 2 channels of two different featured groups, and I've really enjoyed the commentary from Phil Blackmar and his crew. He seems to be much more "up to speed" than the usual, hopefully he'll get more time in the future.

There is absolutely no defense for JM, Kostis or any other person in any form of society to say something is it, when it isn't. You guys defending the spreading of lies and misinformation are despicable. I could care less what their playing records are or not, you either help people or you hurt them.
And yes, I realize they are paid to talk, but that's still not an adequate excuse

You are correct sir! The fact that they are paid makes it worse, they should have even more desire to learn about these things that many of us on this forum have learned just because we love the game.

I watch a lot of baseball (MLB.com, highly recommended). You can watch any game and choose broadcast team. There are some duds (Yankees, TV not radio. Susan rules.). But the best, Boston, TB, Cincinnati, Chicago (both), Detroit (we have not lost hope) know the game, know pitching, know strategy, recognize brilliance on both teams and, most important, can teach you something about the game. The US golf broadcast media have a way to go.

For me it is all about craft Curtis. If a guy wants to put himself out there as an expert and a loud and confident one at that then he better learn his craft. And that is the craft of broadcast commentary not professional golfer.

it's official - johnny miller and jeff martin agree - you can hold off the face before, during, and after impact......two guys that are ALL OVER the irrefutable laws of physics
The question of course is:
How can you make people play better?
The answer of course is:
Teachers (who will have to have hit great shots themselves) who are armed with the right info, which will inevitably come from scientific sources.
The biggest problem at the moment, IMHO, is that the science is difficult to interpret. And, as our resident pink driver hater repeatedly says, the anatomical factors are not being included in the science.
So we are left fumbling in the dark, or in our cases, on the internet.

Not difficult to interpret wulsy, just takes some effort.
As for anatomy read Nesbit and then tell me anatomy is not part of the science.

LOL You might want to put in another comma after interpret and before Wulsy
I feel a comma argument coming on. But, no, I will eschew.

If someone can show me how to release the face shut to open, I'd love to book a lesson. Closed clubface is really pissing me off. But what if the face comes in too shut? I didn't open it enough?
